Constellations are not actual pictures in the sky, but when you draw little lines with your finger and kinda squint your eyes you can see where the Greeks and Romans were coming from with Cygnus, Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, (hey! did I just mention swans and bears? Hmmm). We don't really believe there are Gorgons, or Hydras, or Minataurs, but it is as Folie stated, the three-blobbed smoke monster (named Cerberus) that guards the creepy island ["liberate te ex inferis" - save yourself from hell - courtesy of the blast door map] is similar to the three-headed dog named Cerberus that guards the entrance to Hades in Greek mythology.
